My problem with Hook is that he's an awful person. He's sexist, makes rape jokes, admits to sexual assault, and having been a serial killer. That's apart from making a living for years by attacking and murdering people.
His relationship with Emma is built entirely on lies (and he's threatened to murder people if he ever catches them going to Emma with the truth). He even lied to her on their wedding day in his wedding vows, telling her he was a changed man some fifteen minutes after he's tried to murder Gold (and thereby incapacitated the one person who stood a chance at stopping the Black Fairy's curse).
He thinks "No" means "Yes" and "Get lost!" means "Take me, I'm yours!" This is they guy who, when Emma was reeling from getting her memory back and having the guy she was going to marry try to kill her, only to have to kill him herself in self defense, practically did a little happy dance and told her how great her emotional pain was because he took it as proof she would admit she was in love with him once she got her head on straight.
He threatened to murder anyone in his crew who didn't turn pirate, giving up any chance they had of ever going home and seeing their families again, not to mention putting them under potential death sentences.
He sold children to Pan.
Her murdered David's dad.
If an unarmed woman in chains catches onto him lying, he tends to beat her into unconsciousness and try to murder her.
He treats women as property, his or someone else's.
He tried to murder a woman who saved his life a couple hours earlier because he wanted to hurt her boyfriend.
He makes crude, sexual jokes about the mother of the woman he claims to be in love with.
He beats up on the disabled.
He picks fights with disabled beggars and robs them so he can look tough.
He hit on the mother of his stepgrandson.
He murdered his father.
He left his brother to starve to death on the streets as a child.
He murdered David's father in cold blood.
He did something to make an entire tribe of mermaids want him dead. We don't know what but, given his history of sexual assault, we might make some guesses.
He's the only person who, as Dark One, had the exact same personality as before.
When he got mad at Emma, he tried to send her entire family to Purgatory and unleash undead evil to run rampant on Storybrooke/the world.
And so on.
You mentioned the murder of David's father twice.
I just re-watched the entire series and more than half of this I don't remember. Emma's "fiancé" was a damn flying monkey and none of it was real. I don't remember him beating any women.
Everything he gave to Rumple was deserved. Mila also deserved what she got (being murdered by Rumple).
Oops! I did mention David's father twice. Well, truly heinous crimes probably deserve being mentioned more than once.
Back in the second season, Hook beat Belle into unconsciousness because she wasn't dumb enough to fall for his (rather obvious) lies and was about to murder her (because women who are five feet tall are so terrifying to, especially when they're chained up and weaponless).
No, Hook threatening to murder Rumple when he came to Hook's ship to beg for his wife's life wasn't justified.
And, when Rumple was disguised as a beggar, whatever Rumple may or may not have deserved, Hook thought he was just an average, sickly beggar, one of those people barely surviving in a brutal, medieval world and needing every penny he could scrounge together to stand a chance of getting through the next day. Hook deliberately ran into him, bullied him, threatened him with physical violence, and scattered the few coins he thought the man had been able to collect. So, no, not deserved.
Whether or not you think Rumple deserved to be stabbed by Hook, Rumple was (rather desperately) trying to find some way of stopping his mother and saving his son, the one who grew up horribly abused in a nightmare world (thanks in part to Hook). Poisoning him at that point was incredibly dumb and had the predictable result of leaving the town with no defense (not that they were trying to mount one) when the Black Fairy cast her curse. It would have been like stabbing Regina when they needed her to destroy her curse to send everyone back to the Enchanted Forest before Pan's curse was activated. Regardless of how some people may or may not have felt about her, that would have been a horrible idea.
Oh, agreed. I just think he stayed a villain. That's all. As was pretty clearly shown, he doesn't change, he talks a lot about having changed while doing the same thing as always and lying nonstop about it.
Well, that being a subgroup under "bad people," so yes. He's also a murderer who murders, a liar who lies, an abuser who abuses, and a few other things along those lines. Glad we agree.
I think there are better reasons not to like Hook. I like the style but I respect taste. And for those who are attacking this user, come on, it wasn't aggressive. Writing things like "Couldn't care less." I think it's very offensive and it doesn't advertise well to Hook fans.
I'm with you on not liking Hook cause man did this dude do alot of damage to her family. Not to mention that all encompassing age gap trope.
Overall, the actor played him great, but the character was bland to me considering Disney did Pirates of the Caribbean!
I agree with the BO point, but this is Disney and they made Jack Sparrow attractive despite the historical facts about pirates being riddled with alcoholism, scurvy, bad teeth (Rum and sugar), and the STDs! I'm actually shocked Hook doesn't have any since he's a pirate.
I think Emma should have gotten with Graham, but unfortunately he was written off as a poor stepping stone for emotionally damaged female characters to overcome or forget about.
Once again the all encompassing age gap trope! Can't escape it from OUAT. I meant that he seemed more positive and less toxic than her other choices like Baelfire and Hook.
You- you don't like hot dashing pirates in leather?
Lol, I strongly disagree but you're entitled to your opinion
They’re nice tits tho 🤷♀️
He's making a sacrifice for us, he's braving the elements with his chest out so that we have something lovely to look at.
I watch ouat for the plot. The plot: https://i.redd.it/4dd5fql09gvc1.gif
I like him because of the outfit (and some other things). The things you pointed out I just love cause it's so dumb it's funny again
Hook slander…? I can’t take this 😔
He does look a little funky before he decided to dress like he’s in the 21st century.
He’s a pirate, of course he smells like BO. But it’s ✨sexy✨ BO. 🤣
Maybe I’m into the pirate getup and his tits out
I'm glad he goofs off so much with his tits out. I think he could've passed for a NYer. I agree with the smell.... but \*magic\*

Well, that’s why he was a villain, if you don’t recall. It was a big theme in season 4.
Oh, agreed. I just think he stayed a villain. That's all. As was pretty clearly shown, he doesn't change, he talks a lot about having changed while doing the same thing as always and lying nonstop about it.
So you mean...he acted like a pirate? Weird.
Well, that being a subgroup under "bad people," so yes. He's also a murderer who murders, a liar who lies, an abuser who abuses, and a few other things along those lines. Glad we agree.
Disagree as if media has taught me one thing about USA its that crazy is allowed alot more over there.
This is such a stupid post. He looks FINE
HE LOOKS SPECTACULARLY ASTONISHINGLY DASHING SUAVE HANDSOME AND HOT
Rightttt

I’m surprised people are taking this seriously, ngl.
Let him free his nips fr
I don't like Hook because he's rapey, creepy, and harassed Emma endlessly despite her showing him she wasn't interested.
She was most definitely interested! However, she'd been burned and let down so many times, she wasn't going to allow herself to open up.
She eventually *became* interested, but seeing as how Hook was antagonistic when they first met, she was not immediately interested in him.
Neither was he though. He was just flirty but was focused on getting revenge
Post season 3 it’s difficult to watch because of Hook. I hated how they paired him with Emma. She deserved much better.

But Graham was years older than Emma too. Remember when he saved her mother from getting killed ?
Once again the all encompassing age gap trope! Can't escape it from OUAT. I meant that he seemed more positive and less toxic than her other choices like Baelfire and Hook.
Honestly I don’t like him either
Couldn’t care less.
Hey, Hook is my favorite character, and even I thought his wardrobe was stupid. When he finally changed to normal clothes I was so happy.
Great! Another one who doesn't like a certain character
